Film Production Specialist

Role:  Film Production Specialist - 6 months

Location:  London, United Kingdom

About the role:

This role will suit an experienced and proactive film production specialist who combines strong technical production capability with calm professionalism, sound judgement and excellent stakeholder management skills. You’ll be part of an established in-house creative team, producing high-quality video content that supports a wide range of internal and strategic communications needs.

You’ll likely have a strong background in film production, shooting, directing and editing, and be comfortable owning the full production lifecycle from early planning and concept development through to final delivery. You’ll need to be confident operating independently on day-to-day projects while also working collaboratively with internal teams, global colleagues and external production partners where required.

On a day-to-day basis, you’ll be creating and delivering high-quality video content including multi-camera interviews, leadership messages, internal storytelling pieces and campaign films. 

The role requires someone who can move comfortably between pre-production planning, on-site filming, directing contributors, managing logistics, editing, post-production and versioning for different channels and audiences.

The workload is likely to be steady and varied, typically involving multiple concurrent briefs rather than a small number of large standalone productions. We’ll want to see evidence of pace, agility and pragmatism in your approach, along with the ability to maintain quality under pressure and manage shifting priorities effectively.

A significant proportion of the role will be hands-on production and post-production delivery — including filming, directing, editing, subtitling, reformatting and versioning content for different digital channels and internal platforms. Alongside this, you’ll also need to bring strong storytelling instincts, visual judgement and a clear understanding of how to apply the client’s Visual Identity, accessibility requirements and compliance standards across all outputs.

You’ll be expected to work closely with senior stakeholders across the business managing feedback cycles, approvals and timelines with professionalism and clarity. Experience using tools such as Frame.io and Workfront will be highly beneficial.

This role also requires close collaboration with colleagues across London and New York, so you’ll need to be comfortable working independently across global time zones and contributing to consistent, unified outputs across distributed teams.

There’s no line management responsibility in the role, but we would expect you to work collaboratively within the wider team, contribute positively to ways of working, and help maintain strong standards across production workflows, asset management and file organisation.

• Film production & direction
  • Leading the full lifecycle of film production, from concept development through to final delivery

  • Working closely with senior stakeholders across different areas to develop and deliver effective film content

  • Collaborating with global colleagues, primarily across London and New York, to ensure joined-up delivery and consistency of output
• Cross-functional collaboration
  • Partnering with colleagues across different internal teams and external vendors to ensure seamless project delivery
  • Supporting best-practice workflows across asset management, file organisation, collaborative review processes and delivery standards
  • Working collaboratively within a wider in-house creative and communications environment to deliver integrated outputs
  • Contributing proactively to continuous improvement across production processes and team ways of working
• Decision-making & autonomy
  • Operating with autonomy across day-to-day filming, editing and production decisions within agreed brand and governance frameworks
  • Taking ownership of quality, accuracy, technical execution and consistency across all deliverables
  • Escalating project risks, scheduling issues or complex stakeholder challenges appropriately
  • Bringing solutions-focused thinking and calm judgement to fast-paced production environments

What you need to be great in this role:
